With their unique blend of raucous punk rock laced with reggae and dub, Ruts DC were one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Britain's late-'70s scene.
Their career was cut cruelly short by the death of their singer in 1980, but still the group released six crucial singles and a seminal album in their short lifetime, while the surviving members soldiered on as Ruts D.C. They were also a powerful force within Britain's Rock Against Racism movement, ensuring a political legacy at least as vital as their music.
The Ruts/ Ruts DC were re-formed in 2011.
